James 1:5 , 6 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Hahaha!

You are getting really scary now.

If you feel like killing someone or anything, please ring a trusted loved and get help.

It's the bible, the Jeffism and the Michael Douglas avatar combo that is ringing bells.

Kennett has said our Coach must go. He has tonight threatened the elected Board and CEO and warned them not to pick a new Coach.

This from a Hawks supporter and non MFC member, who is therefore ineligible to stand for the MFC Board.

This self promoting, arrogant piece of work, is telling the elected board of the club and its officials not to go on with its business, because he may at some stage stand for election.

What an absolute disgrace.

We all want a unified club. It would be impossible under this bloke.

Spot on 'Redleg', we have a good operator now as CEO and we need to let him do what he has been brought in to do. For those wanting some outside influence at the club we've got it, for those who want to see change, we've got the guy who will bring it...just let him do his job and don't let Jeff be the issue here, he will be if we let him through the door.

we need the best person ,

We need the best Demon.

We need the best Demon.

we need to get away from the boys club and look outside of the box

I am not saying Kennet is the best option but we need to look at everyone

I want to see my team win

Outside the box?

We have a AFL paratrooper as CEO.

We do not need someone as President whose loyalties do not lie with the club. We have impressive individuals who can help steer this ship - some of them are on the board now. We do not need someone who flippantly suggested we be relocated and merged on two separate occasions. He has not had the best interests of this club at heart and has only recently found his own ego big enough, and bored enough, to think he is the best thing for an afterthought like the MFC.

He is toying with our club right now and some are falling for it.

Jackson is the person to run the MFC but the patrons - the board - will be Demons.

I am not about to let the ship be steered by a Hawk.

[Hip & Shoulder 64]

Whilst i have no reason to either doubt or believe the nature of your concerns, can you describe the nature ( as opposed the detail ) of your misgivings i.e sour business dealing s?

I don't like bullies. Is that enough information? A personal opinion, based on personal experience with him. It's beyond a joke that he's the face of Beyond Blue.

[beelzebub 23,254]

We need the best Demon.

We need the best demon ? Rubbish...We need the best person. Neeld wasnt a Demon before 2011. Daniher wasnt a Demon before he was. Whilst its fair and reasonable to suggest most members in a position to be influential and board members ( or more ) there are some who come to the club late.

Jackson wasnt a Demon a couple of months ago. There is no logic or sense in limiting the search for leaders to "just demons" thats what weve done..and this is where we are.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Red..et al.. I dont particularly care for any grandstanding whether it be JK or anyone but there is an indisputable fact currently. The board are in essence a caretaker board. Everyone is on notice in this club save the CEO. As in politics its beholding upon the current board to make NO far reaching decisions. They can not make decisions that go beyond their own current term, not now, not in our current predicament.

Once the dust has settled , once a new (or revised ) board is empowered, once they have a mandate from US,....then such decisions can be made.

Id be mad as hell if anyone lumps us with anything just because its they could or thought it best...atm.

PJ has called it....all bets are off, off til he says so.

I probably dont like the way JK has reminded all of this but there is an element of reality about it. Like it or not

did you read my post

I said

I dont care if its a demon or not I want the best and I want the best for MFC

now if thats Kennett and he is committed 100% and with what he brings to the table then Fantastic

or if its Geoff Freeman then thats great too but I want the best I dont care who

I want to see My kids follow the same club I do and be proud

but I am happy to look at anyone who is prepared to help MFC become strong and be feared again

I am curious of who if anyone will be on his ticket , and of course if anyone else will stand up

I may be making an obvious point here, the board are unpaid. Doing a love job basically. I really doubt that people outside of the club are going to want to volunteer to help the club out as though we are some sort of charity. I'd question anyone's motives for doing this including Kennett considering his track record. More to the point what does it say about MFC members that would like him on the board? The bloke wanted the club to relocate or fold a couple of years ago & now he wants us to vote him in. It's a slap in the face, I'd be too proud to ever vote for that [censored] considering what he has said about the club in past. He can go get F'd.

[beelzebub 23,254]

Who ever can resurrect the good old MFC will become a folk hero. That alone will appeal to some.

Somefolk like challenges.

We are footy's Everest !!

[Alf Stewart 73]

Liam Jurrah would be good as president.

[Deevout 492]

Geoff Freeman will, i hope be our next President. Not a self serving, headline grabbing, egotistical [censored].

Kennett would fracture the club even more than it is now. God help us...

It's an unpaid role as Bonkers said.

Don't throw a coach or a CEO at me and tell me it is the same thing.

Ultimate direction of the club is the domain of the Board and loyalists are a must.

If anyone out there would like to renounce their allegiances to any other club and tie themselves with the MFC then they can be considered. But this is not the place for independence.

And, again, the most important position is the CEO and he is an AFL paratrooper. We have what we so desire - an outside voice charged with running the club that has AFL approval and support.

Agree with this, his actions show that.

He's the "before" face.......

Go and put your blazer on sunshine.

[Return to Glory 8,398]

The thing I'm looking for most from a President besides the obligatory experience and nous is passion for the club to succeed.

I agree player/CEO is not the same thing, but I don't agree that money is the only possible factor that could overcome any conflict created by "barracker allegiance". How big a conflict would that be really and why does money neutralise such a thing?

We are looking for a proud professional.

I quote Peter Jackson below:

"I think that Melbourne being the centre of the universe for AFL footy. Its a big challenge. Its a founding Club. Its a proud Club. I think that people will want to come here and get it back up where it should be. The whole of the competition want Melbourne up and about. The AFL want Melbourne up and about. No-one wants this footy club down where we are at the moment. So people will get behind it and we will make it work."

"Ive been asked numerous times today How will we entice anyone here?. Easy. Its the biggest and best challenge in football at the moment and there are a lot of people out there who like those sort of challenges. Fundamentally thats why I am here. I cant say no to a challenge. So there will be others who will say the same thing."

[Swooper Northey 493]

I was never a fan of his politics, but Jeff offers something that we simply don't have - a voice that people will listen to. He's clearly up for the challenge and wants to get his hands dirty. I don't see too many people stepping up to fix the mess we're in. If he's a willing candidate, I'd be up for letting him rattle the cage. Yes, he can be unpredictable, but he will demand results, not mediocrity. He won't stand for the utter garbage we're serving up right now. And given his ego, he won't want to preside over a club that is failing - that could be a powerful thing. We have played it safe for years, why not think outside the sqaure about such an appointment?

Don McLardy is a very good man and has worked hard for the club. I'll never forget the wonderful support he showed Jimmy. But it's time for him to step aside as the club seeks to rebuild...again.
